What it does

  • Unsweetened
  • Japanese matcha
  • 2 oz
  • Everyday matcha

Who it suits

  • whisked matcha, or lattes, depending on the grade
  • anyone who already has a whisk and a bowl

Who should skip it

  • anyone expecting it to behave like loose leaf, because matcha is a powder you whisk and drink whole
  • a quick cup without any equipment

The thing worth knowing

Grades are not standardised, so a label such as ceremonial or culinary is the maker's own wording. Keep the tin sealed and cool and use it within a few weeks of opening, because the powder loses colour and flavour to air.

What we have not done

We have not independently tested this product. The description above is compiled from the manufacturer’s published specification and from what the category demands, and it is written to tell you who the equipment suits rather than to sell it. Where we have no first-hand experience, we say so rather than inventing a star rating.
